are recognised the world over. I feel very happy when people recognise me as ‘Dum gutgoo’ singer. I think my sufi kalaam became popular at a time when it was needed most.” Lohar was quoted as saying.

“I enjoy doing live shows more. Frankly, I have never tried performing at any discos or nightclubs. But I realised as an artist it is always good to experiment. I did not realise I have so many fans here. This was my first time
experience to perform at a nightclub. I didn’t have a clue where to start and when to end my song. The crowd sang and danced to my performance, which went on for three hours. I don’t think I’ll shy away from performing at clubs anymore.” Lohar said

Lohar, who recently visited India, revealed that he has a lot of Indian fans and highlighted “Coke Studio” behind his fame.
